The lithological sequence at 18degreesS comprises a thick pile of Azapa Conglomerates (25-19 Ma), an overlying series of widespread rhyodacitic Oxaya Ignimbrites (up to 900 m thick, ca. 19 Ma), which are in turn covered by a series of mafic andesite shield volcanoes. Between 19 and 12 Ma, the surface of the Oxaya Ignimbrites evolved into a large monocline on the western slope of the Andes. A giant antithetically rotated block (Oxaya Block, 80 kmx20 km) formed on this slope at about 10-12 Ma and resulted in an easterly dip and a reversed drainage on the block's surface. Morphology, topography and stratigraphic observations argue for a gravitational cause of this rotation. A \"secondary\" gravitational collapse (50 km(3)), extending 25 kin to the west occurred on the steep western front of the Oxaya Block. Alluvial and fluvial sediments (11-2.7 Ma) accumulated in a half graben to the east of the tilted block and were later thrust over by the rocks of the escarpment wall, indicating further shortening between 8 and 6 Ma. Flatlying Upper Miocene sediments (<5.5 Ma) and the 2.7 Ma Lauca-Perez Ignimbrite have not been significantly shortened since 6 Ma, suggesting that recent uplift is at least partly caused by regional tilting of the Western Andean slope.

We studied the minor eruptions before both these large events to understand magma chamber evolution leading towards such catastrophic eruptions. Major, trace element, and Sr and Nd isotope compositions of pre-Campanian Ignimbrite and pre-Neapolitan Yellow Tuff products define distinct geochemical groups, which are here interpreted as distinct magma batches. These batches do not show any transitional trend towards the CI and NYT eruptions. The CI and NYT systems are decoupled geochemically and isotopically. At least one of the pre-CI and one of the pre-NYT erupted magma batches qualifies as mixing endmembers for the large CI and NYT eruptions, and thus, must have been stored in reservoirs for some time to remain available for the CI and NYT eruptions. The least evolved, isotopically distinct magma compositions that are typical of the last phases of the NYT and CI eruptions did not occur before caldera-forming events. Based on the new data, we propose the following scenario: Multiple magma chambers with distinct compositions existed below the Campi Flegrei before the CI and NYT eruptions and remained generally separated for some time unless new magma was recharged. In each case, one of the residing magma reservoirs was recharged by a new large-volume magma input of intermediate composition from a deeper differentiating magma reservoir. This may have triggered the coalescence of the previously separated reservoirs into one large chamber which fed the cataclysmic caldera-forming eruption. Large magma chambers in the Campi Flegrei may therefore be ephemeral features, interrupted by periods of evolution in individual, separated magma reservoirs."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00445-007-0180-z"],["dc.identifier.isi","000257368200004"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/6755"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/53853"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0258-8900"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Geowissenschaften und Geographie"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Magma chamber evolution prior to the Campanian Ignimbrite and Neapolitan Yellow Tuff eruptions (Campi Flegrei, Italy)"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI WOS2010Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","659"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","5"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","687"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","159"],["dc.contributor.author","Volynets, Anna O."],["dc.contributor.author","Churikova, Tatiana G."],["dc.contributor.author","Woerner, Gerhard"],["dc.contributor.author","Gordeychik, Boris N."],["dc.contributor.author","Layer, Paul"],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T08:43:29Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T08:43:29Z"],["dc.date.issued","2010"],["dc.description.abstract","New (40)Ar/(39)Ar and published (14)C ages constrain voluminous mafic volcanism of the Kamchatka back-arc to Miocene (3-6 Ma) and Late Pleistocene to Holocene (< 1 Ma) times.

Positive correlations between delta(18)O and fluid-mobile elements (Cs, Li, Sr, Rb, Ba, Th, U, LREE, K) and a lack of correlation with fluid-immobile elements (HFSE, HREE) suggest that O-18 was introduced into the mantle source by a fluid from subducted altered oceanic basalt, This conclusion is supported by radiogenic isotopes (Sr, Nd, Pb). Mass balance excludes simple fluid-induced mantle melting. Instead, our observations are consistent with melting a mantle wedge which has been hydrated by O-18-rich fluids percolating through the mantle wedge. O-18-enriched fluids are derived from the subducted oceanic crust and the Emperor seamount chain, which is responsible for a particularly high fluid flux.

Srsingle bondO and Srsingle bondOs isotope mixing calculations between depleted mantle peridotite or mantle melts and crustal material rule out assimilation involving basalts with low Os concentrations, and simple binary mixing or pure AFC processes involving picrites.

However, lower crustal samples displaying these characteristics are absent in the Ferrar region, and are also unlikely to impart the sediment-like trace element patterns observed in the Ferrar data.

Major and trace element analyses of Cerro Galan ignimbrites (68-71% SiO2) that include 75 new analyses can be interpreted as reflecting evolution at three crustal levels. AFC modeling and new fractionation corrected delta O-18 values from quartz (+7.63-8.85aEuro degrees) are consistent with the ignimbrite magmas being near 50:50 mixtures of enriched mantle (Sr-87/Sr-86 similar to 0.7055) and crustal melts (Sr-87/Sr-86 near 0.715-0.735). Processes at lower crustal levels are predicated on steep heavy REE patterns (Sm/Yb = 4-7), high Sr contents (> 250 ppm) and very low Nb/Ta (9-5) ratios, which are attributed to amphibolite partial melts mixing with fractionating mantle basalts to produce hybrid melts that rise leaving a gravitationally unstable garnet-bearing residue. Processes at mid crustal levels create large negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu = 0.45-0.70) and variable trace element enrichment in a crystallizing mush zone with a temperature near 800-850A degrees C. The mush zone is repeatedly recharged from depth and partially evacuated into upper crustal magma chambers at times of regional contraction. Crystallinity differences in the ignimbrites are attributed to biotite, zoned plagioclase and other antecrysts entering higher level chambers where variable amounts of near-eutectic crystallization occurs at temperatures as low as 680A degrees C just preceding eruption. Ar-40/Ar-39 single crystal sanidine weighted mean plateau and isochron ages combined with trace element patterns show that the Galan ignimbrite erupted in more than one batch including a similar to 2.13 Ma intracaldera flow and outflows to the west and north at near 2.09 and 2.06 Ma.
